Jack's teacher the last three years didn't know how to deal with the young-boy-craziness and it was rough at times. Now, his teacher has a daughter the same age (not a son, but better than nothing) and it's so so SO much better.<br /><br />Glad to hear you fought the power. Too many parents are bullied into medicating something their child might a. grow out of and b. might just be part of being 6 and c. makes them who they are. Medicating the spirit out of them isn't right. Sure, there are cases that warrant, but at this age, they're few and far between, in my opinion!SnarkyMommyhttp://www.snarkymommy.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22151779.post-77623028805523835422013-01-11T19:28:41.046-08:002013-01-11T19:28:41.046-08:00I totally agree that you guys made the right choic...I totally agree that you guys made the right choice. Seriously, after three evaluations if they were still pushing meds you were never going to reach a happy medium. I'm sorry for your parking lot crazy, but I have to admit that the imagery made me laugh :) Here's hoping he flourishes at the new school!Chiconkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11824934269870487334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22151779.post-33503031982738501272013-01-11T10:13:41.068-08:002013-01-11T10:13:41.068-08:00OMG, I laughed SO HARD at "pharmaceutical sun...OMG, I laughed SO HARD at "pharmaceutical sundae with a lorazepam cherry on top". You have a way with words. I am so glad to see a new post from you!<br /><br />And I am so sorry you had such a bad experience at his old school. That attitude is inexcusable! We had MAJOR focus issues at the beginning of this year (K) and after lots of emailing with the teacher and tears (from me and C) I went to talk to the teacher in person and she said "He's five years old, this is new, and I want him to like it. If he doesn't want to color, let's just not worry about it." PROBLEM SOLVED. And now he is doing much better. I so hope you have a similar good experience at the new school.<br /><br />Also, I made a total spectacle of myself in the preschool parking lot when Wes pulled the darting all over the car trick. I'm surprised no one called the cops.

The...Oh, don't worry, you are not the only one. The first week of school? Noni literally would run away. She'd get in the line with all the other kids to walk into school and then just turn and bolt toward home (which wasn't the worst idea, as we live only a block from school.) I would have to run, catch her, and drag her to the classroom where the teacher had to physically drag her into the classroom. But it's been smiles and sunshine ever since so I think it's just a natural reaction of (some) kids when they are dealing with anxiety. Glad that otherwise things are going well and I love the "Yup, we're American" comment. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
